building a race bike and almost done, but should i run straight water in the raditor or go with an a race product i believe called water wetter, just let me know what i should I should run in it, thanks Dale
Use distilled water with water wetter (Redline product). The water wetter will help keep the temp. a little lower compared to plain water. Do not use engine ice (blue stuff), even though someone may tell you it is legal on the track, I think WERA says it is not. Rob
Yup, WERA says nothing but H20 or H2O mixed with watter wetter. ------------------ Sean Clarke WERA Motorcycle Roadracing
Another plus is water wetter also will prevent aluminum corrosion. Maybe not the largest concern on a racebike however.
Use the water wetter with H2O. Will raise the boiling point of the water which is a plus on a race bike in the summer.
water wetter does NOT raise boiling point to any significant degree if at all. What it does is break the surface tension of water and allows better conduction of the water to the metal surface that it is in contact with (head, radiator fins, etc) this allows the heat to be exchanged more effectivley. It also works in the race hauler with anti-freeze by doing the same thing.
